The Senate has passed a measure to expand payments to Americans who were exposed to windblown radioactive particles from nuclear tests and uranium facilities during the Cold War. The measure, championed by Republican Senator Josh Hawley, aims to account for new information on the spread of radioactive contamination from nuclear weapons testing sites. The proposal would extend the compensation program for five years, expand eligibility to four additional states, and double the amount of money eligible individuals can receive.
